The author's context of technology seems to be limited to the idea of software and screens.
Let's take a wider view. A pencil is a technology to someone from the 1500s. A watch is a technology to someone from the 1700s.
The network (web) has already integrated into our lives. The screen is the point of distraction and there are many people actively finding ways to move away from that.
When I look at the proposed principles, I don't see how that makes computing any more "resonant".
Computing will continue to meld into our lives and will continue to be more and more basic. Children today don't think about "going online" like those of us around the birth of the internet did. Those born today won't think twice about an AI assistant that is ever present.
I feel like the goals of this manifesto may be orthogonal to their stated aims. Or maybe I completely miss the point.
